The Advent tradition of creating a Jesse Tree comes from the verses in
Isaiah and Matthew that speak of Jesse, the father of King David. On each
branch hangs a picture of some of the forty-two generations of Jesus’
ancestors from both the Old and New Testaments. The pictures of the Holy
Family are often placed at the top. This kit offers two options designed
to make the Jesse Tree project accessible to any family, class or parish. Option 1: Prepare an actual tree with designs from
do-it-yourself three-dimensional ornaments. Option 2: A Jesse Tree Poster with
pre-drawn ornaments to be colored and attached. This three-piece kit also
includes a short history of the Jesse Tree, suggested Scripture verses for
each ornament, and a Jesse Tree prayer service.
